I know launcher pro, and other docks, don't have an option with 4 shortcuts on the dock like this. At least not with big icons. Sort of like an iPhone. I love everything about my Evo, but I REALLY wish there was something like this. As far as I know, this isn't a screenshot. It's just shopped.
But does anyone know of ANY way this could be done?

LP can do that with the real icons. Mine has five though.
How would you go to the app drawer?

No. Launcher Pro is a very tiny confined dock. It also has 5 icons, which makes the dock even tinier. I'm looking for a big dock, which supports 4 icons, just like the picture I posted.
Does anyone know of such a thing?
And you would just make a shortcut to the app drawer.... How else? lol
Touchwiz launcher from the galaxy s phones. Tons of roms include it (you can unzip and grab the apk out) and I've seen it around here a bit.
If you can't find it pm me and I can send it when I'm at my computer. (couple of days, I'm on holiday)

Evo-Nonsense Rom has the TouchWiz launcher built in, and it is a very nice rom.
What if you make a dock in photoshop with 4 big icons and then assign invisible shortcuts to them?

what i don't understand is you spent SOOO much time insulting someone else about how they did something and then talk about how they photoshopped the screenshot.. if you don't know how to do something and that particular person doesn't respond to you, use your brain and start figuring things out...
launcher pro allows you to create your own custom dock... just like the member before me stated.. use photoshop or gimp or whateva editting program you like, and start with a transparent background... then create WHATEVER you want on it.. when your done, save as png and then send to ur phone.. go into launcher pro preferences > appearance settings > Dock background > custom.. and then select the dock you created...
after you've done all that, use transparent icons over the ones you made on your custom dock, and there you have it... all that height limit **** you was talkin goes right out the window..
if you look at my dock, the word "Phone" and "Apps" are a lot larger then most people who use word icons.. thats because mine aren't icons.. its a dock i made and added transparent icons over the word phone and the word apps..
i hope now you understand, and you don't have to continue your BS investigation on how he got 4 icons on there and how they are the size they are...
(oh.. and please don't say anything about me being a hero user and not an evo user, cause launcher pro is still launcher pro no matter which phone u use)
try the miui port. the launcher in that rom is really comparable to an iphone. I don't have a link on me but its in the development section.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they still show that style on the app drawer or if placed on the homescrens?
I like a lot of things with the MIUI interface, but the thing that drives me away is the iphone-esque menu when you hit the menu button. I love the phone/dialer though.
MIUI should be enjoyed as a whole product, not in bits and pieces. But I'm sure someone could do it for you.

Laucher Pro will let you replace the icons with whatever ones you want when you put it on the desktop - there are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to change the look of the homescreens - but if it really is the menu system you don't like then hopefully someone can try and port the lockscreen for you
(FYI - here's my Incredible running MIUI and Launcher Pro)

Non-trivial? So you're saying it's important to port it to CM6?
If that's the case, it could be ported to MIUI as well, since they are both AOSP roms.
Unless of course you mean trivial, which makes more sense...

Non-trivial in this sense means not easy.From what I have read,the lockscreen is pretty tied in to the Rom.

Yeah, this would be incredible if this was possible. I enjoy MIUI, but it has its pro's and con's. I really LOVE the lock screen, but on the other hand I really am not a fan of all the white/light grey system menus. With the number of people that are obsessed with theming their Android devices I'm surprised there isn't any option to change all those menus to a darker scheme.

I think you're best bet is to start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992402
That should get you the wallpaper and the analog clock.
The digital clock you can get with fancy widget pro (it's one of the skins, if you need help setting it up, let me know).
The icons seem like they would be very easy to build in photoshop if no one has built them already. If you are using ADW EX or Launcher Pro, you can create custom docks and icons and use them.
I also think you can get something similar to that battery percentage with battstatt pro.
It would take some work, but I think making your homescreen look very close to that is doable. If you need help with the icons, I might be able to do it for a donation, but it wouldn't be for a bit. I may be able to do it over the weekend, but I'm going to be out of town for business and not sure what my schedule is going to be like.
Edit: I saw the icons were available in that thread, that's good, hardest part if they didn't exist. I started reading that thread, seems like you should be able to do it with CM7, that theme, the icons he posted, Built in ADW or EX/LP, some of the widgets I mentioned and the Honeycomb boot animation.
He's right, and then search themes and apps [or google] for honeycomb icons, then you can use launcher pro, ect to change the icons to make them honeycomb icons.

I don't see the icons in that thread
From the post above the one you linked:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12151203&postcount=24
Hmmm, those are diff icons than the ones you posted, but I think they are the actual HC icons. The ones in the screenshot would be much easier to make.
Well, The only thing I got sorta right was the dock... But I'd like to find that small HC Digital Clock
Fancy widget pro. You have to get the pay version to be able to change skins. Download Honeycomb skin.
Fancy widgets gives you a bunch of diff widget options. Just choose clock widget and under appearance settings, hide the background and hide date.
It would be great for people to share their home screen setups, I'm interested to see what is possible with ICS
Unfortunately I can't attach my screenshot as I can't post external links yet.
You can take a screenshot within ICS by pressing the volume down button and power button at the same time.

I was thinking, a great launcher app would be when the phone is put into the dock, the launcher activates a setting and a specific layout of icons that you would want to use with the phone (while in the dock) comes onto the screen automatically.
Thoughts?
I like it. Sort of like a car dock app.
Something like a big clock in the top 2/3rds and a row of icons on the bottom.

Yea exactly.
I just got the idea because I have a custom layout with ADW Launcher and I have something like 5 rows and 6 columns and so when its rotated the icons on the screen are pretty hard to press so sometimes I hit/launch other apps.
So this concept would help me out a lot.
It's interesting that the 2.1-2.3 clock app had exactly what we are talking about. It wasn't customizable though.
They got rid of it in 3.0+

That is pretty much exactly what I was thinking. If there is an app in the play store that does this I'd pay for it.
How about this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DevBob.DeskClockPlus
Does the GNex not do this on its own when inserted into the landscape dock (when you are running 4.0.4 and higher)?

It does. We are just talking about alternatives.
EDIT: To add to this. The stock ICS clock removed the quick launch icons and weather and just displays the clock now. (which I'm sure you already know)
Sure, you can press home and go to the launcher but it would be nice to have the features of the old clock app with the ICS look.

All it does is just show a clock that is intended to use at bedside. Once you touch the home button it brings you to the launcher you are using.

You can with this app. It requires an add-on purchase though. Here's the quote from the app description.
Optionally, you can purchase an extension that will allow you to add additional buttons docks and choose your own applications to launch from Desk Clock Plus. Swipe left and right on the dock or on the time and weather to re-arrange the layout. You can also swipe the time and weather panels to reconfigure the clock's layout.

I also, sent the dev a message on G+ asking if he had any plans to base off the ICS clock or add an ICS theme.

When moving icons and folder on a screen you cant just put them anywhere you want its locked to a grid so is there a way to be able to put folders and icons anywhere you want on the screen?

If you want your folder/app stick to the point where u left your finger and not in the 4*4 grid - so you want it to stick at the exact position - well you can't. Don't know even why would you like to do that? You could mess with your shortcuts easily
Hope fully this will give everyone a better idea of what I am on about.

It would be nice to have total control but unfortunately we don't. I used to have launchers plus on my desire and it is probably the kind of thing you are looking for. Instead of a 4x4 grid you can change it to many others. For instance a 5x6 which would nearly double the amount of icons you could have on screen. You could also resize widgets which was handy. And if I remember correctly you could even have more quick launch icons at the bottom. Very nice app.
